Two - forces act in pairs. If object "A" acts on object "B", the object "B" will also act on object "A".
In many practical situations, there may be additional forces involved. For example, if an object is at rest despite the fact that a force acts on it, then it is obvious that an additional force acts on the same object, and in the opposite direction. In such cases, there are at least four forces involved, since according to Newton's Third Law, there must be an opposite force for each of these two forces. (Note that in Newton's Third Law, the two forces act on DIFFERENT objects, so the two forces that hold an object in balance do not quality as a pair of forces according to Newton's Third Law.)

∙ 11y agoThere are four basic forces to work with: Lift, gravity, thrust and drag.
If lift is higher than gravity, the object floats. If thrust is greater than drag the object moves.
A object at rest maintains the same lift as gravity and the same thrust as drag.

What force acts on the Moon to keep one hemisphere facing the Earth?
Tidal forces made it rotate that way. We can assume that in the far past, it may have rotated faster; tidal forces made it slow down. (In principle, it's also possible that it rotated slower and that tidal forces made it speed up.) Similarly, the Earth is rotating slower and slower; one far day in the future, the Earth will always show the same side to the Moon. Of course, once an object is rotating at a certain speed, it requires no force to make it continue rotating.
What is flammable once it is dry?
Nitrocellulose is always kept dampened because it is extremely flammable when dry.
How jump is possible in space as there is no reaction force?
I assume you mean micro gravity or in free fall when you write "space" You (the jumper) has to push on something. Once you have jumped off something you will continue (as Newtons laws of motion propose) until you are stopped by another force.
Do snowflakes continue to grow once they touch the ground?
No, snowflakes do not continue to grow once they touch the ground. Once they land, they can be further compacted by footsteps or other forces, but they do not continue to accumulate additional ice crystals.
How many people have experienced a hurricane once in their lives versus how many people have experienced a tornado once in their lives?
there have been more in a hurricane

How many forces act on a body when a body is thrown upward?
Once it is in the air, the main forces are gravity, and air resistance.

How do you measure aerodynamic forces in a homemade wind tunnel?
you could use a spring behind your object, and calculate inline reaction force from deflection. it will be essential the wind speed is accurately measured force will represent wind velocity squared *drag coefficient , once calculated the drag coefficient can be used elsewhere, in acceleration calculations for instance. measuring forces versus wind speed should produce a exponential graph in the form f = v^2 as drag force is proportional to square of velocity if you translate the action into freefall , at terminal velocity the forces balance, down = mass * gravity acceleration ( newtons) up = velocity ^2 * drag coefficient (newtons)
How many retired marine corps officers are there?
none, once a marine, always a marine.
A difficulty in understanding the Columbian exchange is what?
Things once unknown now seem like they have always been a part of many cultures.
What is the number of newtons is the gravitational force minus the number of newtons for the drag in water?
That depends how fast the object moves. However, once it falls in the water at a constant velocity, you know that the net force - which is just what the question is after - is zero.
What does once a teacher always a teacher?
it means that once a teacher is a teacher once, even after he/she retires, they still feel like a teacher at heart.
If the bikers are applying unbalanced forces to their bikes to move them?
They have to get the bike started by using an engine that has to make the forces unbalanced to get the bike to progress forward and once you have reached a constant speed then you will become unbalanced once you have accelerated once again.
Why does a person n earth always sees the same side of the moon?
The Moon rotates in such a way that it always shows us the same side - it takes 27 days to go once around the Earth, and 27 days to rotate around its own axis. The reason for this is that the Moon's rotation, which was probably much faster initially, slowed down, through tidal forces from the Earth - just as the Earth's rotation is currently slowing down, due to tidal forces from the Moon. Many moons in the Solar System have this bound rotation - they rotate once every time they go around their planet.
